Cartoonists on the death penalty

The Windows on Death Row project deals with subject of the death penalty through works of American cartoonists, as well as those by prisoners awaiting execution. 

Organised by New York Times cartoonist and co-founder of the Cartooning for Peace Foundation Patrick Chappatte, the exhibition looks at different perspectives on the death penalty. It examines issues like politics, race, morality, and the question of equality under the law. 

The exhibition will have its international premier in Switzerland and shown in Geneva (until April 30, 2016) and Morges (until May 8, 2016).

A smartphone displays the SWIplus app with news for Swiss citizens abroad. Next to it, a red banner with the text: ‘Stay connected with Switzerland’ and a call to download the app.
